This thread is why I love dwarf fortress. We start at engravings of wagons and end up using necromancy to raise them from the dead, and were-wagons.

I jumped off a ramp in a cave and exploded.

RoomCarnage lives!

You could build a windmills power plant, so the Device will continue spewing magma even after the last dwarf dies. Also, bloodthorn wings and axles would fit the whole idea.

I just saw a guy with two broken legs push a minecart with a corpse in it. Yeah.

As cool as that would be, powering the pump stack just isn't a viable option at this point. The surface is lost, and there's no liquid water. No windmills, no water wheels.

Except the caldera itself. Make windmills network just above lava level - they will be powered by raising hot streams.

I'm fairly sure that doesn't happen yet.

Still, you could probably build windmills with your vampire labor on the slopes of the volcano. Considering how steep the volcano is, you'd probably get power out of it. You'd just need to dump logs from the caverns into an airlock for the vampires to have building materials.

Turns out you can seriously not notice how deep into this shit you went until you get out.

Windmill works when exposed to outside and when there's wind power (20 or 40 urists) at the region. So it will definitely work if built inside the caldera.

It's possible, but given the glacial speeds at which the vampires work, it would take far, far longer than it would be worth.

Besides, it's honestly not a big issue - I've got plenty of dwarven labor to operate the pumps.
